02 / In plain words
What Vanuatu Citizenship Office means
The Citizenship Office is Vanuatu's state citizenship office. It accepts applications through authorised agents, publishes the official schedule of contributions and fees and issues state invoices.
Citizenship certificates, duplicates and register extracts are issued through the office. State invoices go directly through the Treasury.
The prices on the office's official page are the main reference. When programmes are reviewed, the agent obtains a current invoice before the client's final estimate.
A simple example
Before paying the contribution the family receives a state invoice; we check the amount against the official schedule, and only then is payment made.
